We first connected on the dating app Bumble. After chatting for a bit on the app, Kaylee sent Evan her phone number, telling him to reach out if he would like. Our first date at Humble Wine Bar took place after about a week of texting back and forth. Evan arrived early to sip on an Apple Martini and calm his nerves. We settled in, shared a bottle of red wine and quickly connected. About 2.5 hours later of uninterrupted conversation, we said our goodbyes, agreeing we were both interested in a second date. The first date was followed by a night at Jammy Buggers and then Evan proudly made his bacon wrapped brussel sprouts, prosciutto flatbread, and Ziti for date number three. It didn't take long for us to become inseparable. Evan received a promotion requiring a move to Alabama about 9 months into our relationship. We weathered long distance, with trips back and forth between Montgomery and Cleveland, before Kaylee could join Evan ( and Ellie) down South. After a year in Montgomery, exploring everything the South and SEC football has to offer, we moved to Charlotte. Settling in Dilworth, we quickly adapted to the beautiful weather and neighborhood. In August of 2021, Kaylee accepted a new role with her company which means we are heading back to Cleveland in summer 2022! Evan found it fitting to pop the question back where it all began. During a Cleveland visit during the second week of August, Evan asked Kaylee if she wanted to do dinner on Wednesday (8/11) at Humble. Being that it was their first date spot, Kaylee was slightly suspicious. But there were no big questions asked at dinner. We made it back to Mary and Rob's and as soon as we walked in the door, Evan got down on one knee and asked Kaylee's favorite question with Mary, Rob and William nearby. If the moment could get any sweeter, friends and family surprised us from their playroom hiding spot. It was a magical night filled with so much love. We cannot wait to celebrate with you all in September!
